SECTION 4. HEALTH HAZARD

Symptoms of Exposure:
Acute and Chronic Effects

Ingestion:

Strong burning sensation,
possible vomiting. Can result in irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and
mucous membranes. Considered as an unlikely route of entry in
commercial/industrial environments.

Eye contact:

The amine hardener
component may be severely irritating to the eyes and may burn eye tissue. High
concentrations of vapour may cause irritation.

Skin contact:

Liquid may be irritating
to the skin and may be capable of causing allergic skin reactions. Repeated or
prolonged contact may lead to dermatitic effects and may cause sensitisation in
some individuals.

Inhalation:

The vapour is mildly
irritating to the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. The vapour pressure
from these products is very low at ambient temperatures and is unlikely to
cause exposure from normal handling. Frequent or prolonged exposure can cause
respiratory irritation and may cause sensitisation in some individuals.
Overexposure symptoms include headache, swelling and congestion of the eyes and
sinuses.

Systemic and other
effects:

The ingredients may cause
adverse effects including sensitisation. Symptoms include itching rash and
respiratory congestion.

Emergency & First Aid
Procedures

Ingestion:

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
If conscious give water or milk to rinse out mouth and drink. Provide liquid
slowly but as much as casualty will drink. Transport to hospital or doctor
without delay. Activated charcoal may be helpful.

Eye contact:

Immediately hold the eyes
open and irrigate eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Ensure
irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Transport to doctor or hospital without delay. Removal of contact lenses after
an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

Handle in well ventilated
area. Always observe conditions of good industrial hygiene and safe working
practice.

SECTION 6. FIRE &
EXPLOSION

Stability

Stable for minimum 2
years at room temperature. Excess heating over long periods will degrade
ingredients. .

Flammability

Products will support
combustion if heated but will not spontaneously ignite or explode.

Hazardous Decomposition
Products

On burning will emit
toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Hazardous Polymerisation

Will not occur in absence
of contact with reactive elements or unless the separately packed components
are mixed in large quantities. This will cause irreversible polymerization
with considerable heat build-up.

Incompatibility

Avoid contact with water,
strong acids, alkalis, oxidising materials.

Fire Fighting

Toxic fumes will be
evolved when this material is involved in a fire. Fire fighters must wear full
protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus.

Extinguishing Media

Foam, carbon dioxide, dry
chemical powder.
